“Since the beginning of operation, Gazprom has increased the gas pipeline's load by 2.2 times, including for European consumers - by 2.5 times,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

Miller noted that the pipeline reliably transports Russian gas across the Black Sea to consumers in Turkey, Greece, North Macedonia (these three countries increased purchases in 2020), Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. 

On January 1, Serbian leader Aleksandr Vucic launched the Balkan Stream gas pipeline in the country (continuation of the Turkish Stream).

Natural gas from Russia began to flow into the republic.
